Farming and teaching across different worlds

Do it all.

Zeng Junhui found that there was no response to his words, so he moved his eyes away from the snacks on the table, looked up, and happened to see their appearance, and shouted dissatisfiedly: "Hey, enough of you, Aren't we here to talk about business, how can we enjoy one or two of them."

After speaking, I couldn't help but picked up a snack at hand and stuffed it into my mouth.

Looking at his appearance, Ji Xiuran showed a faint expression of contempt on his face, and said mercilessly: "If you want to criticize us, first wipe off the crumbs around your mouth."

Zeng Junhui continued to eat snacks indifferently, and continued to speak inarticulately: "May I be on par with everyone, so that everyone will think that I don't fit in."

Ji Xiuran gave him a very disgusted look, and said, "Can you swallow the thing before you talk? You are so big and you are so unruly. Even a fool is more polite than you."

After hearing this, Zeng Junhui didn't take it as an insult, but affirmed proudly: "That's right, my son is great."

Ji Xiuran was really speechless towards his thick skin, and immediately turned his head and ignored him.

Zeng Junhui saw that he didn't talk to him anymore, so he asked: "How about my proposal? This will definitely sell well in Zhenxiu Pavilion." Twisting a peanut in his hand, he continued to lobby.

Only then did Ji Xiuran give him a merciful reply: "This is a new recipe prepared for the Zhenxiu Pavilion. I sent you all the ingredients, and the batch of goods sent by Youfu today is."

When Zeng Junhui heard what he said, Dang even clapped his hands in satisfaction, and then concentrated on tasting the snacks on the table.

Chapter 168

Ji Xiuran was also convinced by his heartless appearance, decided to keep out of sight and out of mind, turned around and picked up his teacup to taste it intently.

During the moment when the two of them were communicating, Shi Jingchen and Boss Zheng drank back and forth. There was no communication during the whole process, and they were able to enjoy the wine tasting happily.

When Ji Xiuran put down his teacup in satisfaction, the two of them had already had enough alcohol, and took the snacks on the table to taste.

At this time Ji Xiuran said lightly: "This time I invite the two of you over to discuss something."

Hearing his serious tone, Zeng Junhui and Boss Zheng also straightened up, sat upright, and looked at him.

Seeing that both of them were listening carefully, Ji Xiuran continued, "I got news by chance that next year the emperor intends to open a mutual market at the northwest border."

These two are out-and-out businessmen. After hearing Ji Xiuran's words, they immediately felt the business opportunities involved, so they asked nervously without Ji Xiuran's further words: "Is Xiuran serious?"

Ji Xiuran nodded affirmatively, looked at Shi Jingchen, and said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask third brother."

When Shi Jingchen heard what he said, he nodded immediately, affirming the statement. After the two saw Shi Jingchen nodding, they no longer doubted. After all, the border guards are all military officers. Shi Jingchen is also a military officer. It also makes sense.

Thinking of this, the two of them calmly began to think about it, and they both had some plans in mind for how to operate next year.

Then the two of them looked at each other, then they both turned their heads to look at Ji Xiuran, and asked, "Is Xiuran interested in becoming a big ticket with us this time?"

After hearing this, Ji Xiuran showed a determined smile, and said, "I've come to you this time to talk about this." After speaking, he told the plan he had thought of before, and discussed it with the two of them.

Shi Jingchen sat by the side and listened to their conversation, interjecting from time to time to put forward his own suggestions. When someone came to report that dinner was ready, they had already made a rough plan.

By the beginning of spring next year, they can start to open up the northwest trade route and seize business opportunities in advance.

Only then did we get up and walk to the dining room together, and eat together.

The next day Shi Jingchen will go back to Jinhaiwei, Ji Xiuran and Lu Xiangyuan will be on duty, Jiabao will also go to school, only Dahong stays at home with the two elders.

Ji's father and mother also have a restless temperament. Before that, Ji Xiuran asked people to experiment with the construction plan of a glass greenhouse, and built a glass greenhouse in the empty garden.

After many experiments, I finally found a plan to open the bank. Now it is basically completed, and the vegetables used in the experiment are also planted inside.

Now that it is snowing heavily, the inside of the glass greenhouse is as warm as spring, and some of the vegetables planted in it have begun to sprout.

I don't know how the second elder found such a remote place. When Dahong finished handling the daily affairs of the family and went to see the second elder in their yard, he found that the two had disappeared.

Finally, I mobilized the family's servants to search together, and found them in the glass greenhouse in this remote garden.

The two elders didn't know how much noise they had made, and they were busy with the vegetable field with a relaxed and contented appearance.

Dahong looked at the smiling grandparents, although she felt powerless in her heart for their nonsense, but she couldn't bear to blame her, so she had to let them act on their own.

When Ji Xiuran came back from the office, he went over to talk to him carefully.

After hearing this, Ji Xiuran could only sigh lightly, and was completely helpless towards his parents.

But thinking about the glass greenhouse, he raised his feet and walked there. When he entered the door and saw a piece of greenery, he nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that the glass greenhouse had been completed.

Looking at the parents who are still busy here, they stepped forward and said helplessly: "Dad and mother, you should rest for a while, let the servants do these things."

When Ji's father heard Ji Xiuran's words this time, his reaction was even greater than that of Ji's mother. Dang even sullenly retorted dissatisfiedly: "You are also a child from a farm family, how can you be so careless about things in the field."

Seeing Ji's father scolding Ji Xiuran, Ji's mother said unhappily, "Yao'er is a person who studies and is an official, how can he know so much, you can't tell him well, why are you blowing your beard and staring."

Ji Xiuran saw that the two of them were about to quarrel over their own affairs again, so he opened his mouth to smooth things over: "Mother, don't blame father, it's my boy who said something wrong, father, my boy is here to apologize to you, father is the best at things in this field .”

After hearing this, Ji's mother glanced at Ji's father in dissatisfaction, and said, "You see how sensible Yao'er is, if you are not satisfied, you always scold him."

Only then did Ji's father realize that what he said just now was a bit too much, so he followed Ji's mother's words and said, "It's what I said that went too far, but you really have to listen to me about the vegetable field. What is it, if I didn’t see it today, such a good place would have been destroyed.”

Ji's mother also echoed: "That's right, Yao'er, we are unfortunate enough to do things that waste food and fields. Even if you are a high-ranking official, you can't do these things that break your conscience."

Immediately, Ji Xiuran listened carefully to the teachings of the two elders, and at the same time explained a few sentences for himself: "Father and mother, don't worry, the child is not the kind of person who doesn't know the importance, but this glass greenhouse is my new experiment method, and I didn't know the success at the time. If it doesn’t succeed, it doesn’t take it to heart, that’s why it’s a bit negligent, and I won’t do it in the future.”

Ji's father and Ji's mother nodded in reassurance when they heard this, and then said, "Don't worry about it in the future, just leave it to us."

Ji Xiuran didn't want the two elders to work hard at first, but when he came to the capital, he wanted the two elders to enjoy the happiness, feel the family happiness, and live a leisurely life, but the two elders' nature is like this.

He was also helpless, so he had no choice but to agree that it would be safer to stay in his own home, rather than letting them run out, where he couldn't protect them, and if something happened, he would regret it and cry.

Back in the front yard, seeing Dahong, he told her about it by the way, and Dahong had no choice but to accept the result, and silently prepared things that the elders would use.

During this period of time, Ji Xiuran has to be busy collecting the commercial tax situation in various places, and also compare the commercial tax situation collected in Chongzhou after the establishment of the commercial tax department with the commercial tax situation in other places.

It has been more than three months since the implementation of the new policy, and the general results can already be seen.

After comparison, we can clearly see how different the taxation situation after the establishment of the Commercial and Taxation Department and the implementation of the New Commercial and Taxation Deal is compared to places where the New Deal has not been implemented.

After such a comparison, it can be quickly discovered that after the establishment of the Commercial and Tax Department, the commercial tax revenue under the implementation of the New Deal is more than double that of the non-implemented commercial tax.

After he took the compiled data and showed it to the emperor, the emperor looked at it seriously and strengthened his determination to implement the new policy.

When it was early morning, the emperor showed this data to everyone.

Faced with this highly contrasting real data, the people who had opposed fiercely before had nothing to say at this time.

They couldn't think of any reasonable excuses to oppose the promotion of this new policy, and they couldn't help but blame those people from the Commercial and Taxation Department in Chongzhou. What did they do so hard to make the commercial tax collection effect so good that they couldn't refute it? .

After Ji Xiuran received the emperor's order, he said that after the Chinese New Year, he would implement the New Deal throughout the country.

Immediately, he had a bottom line in his heart. Fortunately, he had already made preparations, and the manpower was also arranged.As long as people are arranged after the beginning of spring, the New Deal can be promoted smoothly.

Time flies, and soon the New Year's Eve will arrive, the palace will be sealed, and Shi Jingchen will come back to accompany them to celebrate the New Year.

Jia Bao also had a holiday early, and Ji Xiuran took the whole family out together after his own yamen was also on holiday and before the Chinese New Year.

Thinking about taking this opportunity to take Ji's parents and Ji's mother to visit the capital, and also buy some things that are missing at home.
